L0UVAIN HEAP OF ASHES Belgian City of 40,000 Wiped Out by Germans. The Belgian foreign minister re ports that the Belgian city of Louvain In the Province of Brabant has been burned by the Germans. On Tuesday a German army corps after receiving a check withdrew in disorder to Louvain. The inhabitants were ordered to leave their dwellings and some were made prisoners. The women and children were placed on trains the destinations of which are not known and soldiers furnished with bombs set fire to ail parts of the city. "The splendid church of St. Pierre, the university buildings, the library and scientific establishments were de livered to the flames. "Several notable citizens were shot. The city which bad a population of 40,000, and was the intellectual me tropolis of the low countries, Is now nothing more than a heap of ashed," says the minister. "When the Germans were retiring upon the city the Germans on guard at the entrance of the city mistaking the nature of this Incursion, fired upon their countrymen whom they mistook for Belgians. "In spite of all the denials from the authorities the Germans in order to cover their mistake, pretended that it was the Inhabitants. Including the po lice, all had been disarmed more than a week before. "Without inquiry and without listen ing to any protest the German com mander announced that the town would be destroyed immediately." Sharon Girls Struck by Auto. Struck by an automobile driven by J.

The British forces were engaged In the vicinity of Mons and Maubeuise aud wero roughly used, although they Inflicted enormous losses on the enemy. It Is estimated that the Germans have lost 200,000 men killed and wounded since the opening of hostilities and that the losses of the allies have been about, one-third this number, as they have been fighting mostly on the defensive. The Russian armies, said to number four, divided into 2,000,000 men each, have been pressing forward in ea:it Prussia and Austrian Galicia. The Russians have captured several im portant fortified towns In both coun tries. In Austrian Galicia they havo invested Lemburg nnd In east Prussia they are attacking Keonigsburg. The Germans have retreated to the Osterode line of defense. Reinforce ments ure being rushed to them, weak ening the forces in France and Bel gium.
